When it comes down to it, it has no personality of its own - just an amalgam of personalities filtered through his innocence about the world and lack of any experiences of his own. For all we know, if Von Reichter rather than Jose was Terra's base essence, it could've turned out differently.<br /><br />Speaking of which...<br /><br /><i>José encodes his own essence into Terra, but when the boy is unimpressed at it being an innocent child</i><br /><br />So having Jose's essence made it innocent and childlike? That is... interesting.

As for whether or not this is what cost the show viewers, I don't know, as <i>Batman TAS</i> had many great moments where it ended on poignant emotion, and that is a frequent tool in the action story-telling of anime.<br /><br /><b>I don't know that we really need to see a teacher, buff though he may be, fighting all manor of creature beside his would be love interest.</b><br /><br />I love it, but then I've always been a fan of the She-Hulk and Wyatt Wingfoot pairing. :)NoelCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01744014386233716741noreply@blogger.com
